Take the Next Step

National Science Foundation S-STEM Program

Iona College has been awarded funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to recruit, support and retain undergraduate students majoring in Chemistry and Computer Science. The award will support economically disadvantaged students with high academic aptitude, for scholarships in Chemistry and Computer Science, through the Iona College Development of Excellence in Science through Intervention, Resilience, and Enrichment (DESIRE) Program.

Student Success

The enthusiasm the faculty had for chemistry was inspiring and made me excited about the research. All of the professors I have had have not only taught me a great deal in the classroom but have also been excellent mentors.
